Chief Inspector Richard Jones was sitting at his desk within his office at the Criminal Investigation Department, Scotland Yard. In his hands was the written report from Detective Jack Dwight, one of his more experienced undercover officers, about the recent surveillance of the postal order box at the Paddington Post Office.

Innocents, every one of them, caught amidst a war they neither understand or wished to be a part of. A war that has already claimed the life of Chief Inspector MacKenny and two men; Peter and Paul. A war that is far from over….
